Alexander “s1mple” Kostylev, the renowned professional Counter-Strike 2 player, may have hinted that the Natus Vincere organization is in no hurry to sell him to FaZe Clan. His fans came to this conclusion after the esports athlete posted a photo on X (formerly Twitter) with streamer Ekaterina “Ekatze007” Bulankina and interacted with his followers in the comments.
[Message from a fan: `Will she buff you when you join FaZe?`] Seems like I won`t join, keep it a secret. [Message from a fan: `Bro, we need you`.] Sometimes it`s hard to get out of prison.
S1mple joined FaZe Clan on a loan basis from Natus Vincere in early May. He played for FaZe at IEM Dallas 2025 and BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. As of the time of this publication, it remains unknown which team s1mple will continue his career with.
